Jambalaya {A One Pot Meal #SundaySupper}

I am a seasonal eater. It’s true, there I said it… that is my picky eater moment. There are just certain foods that go with each season. There is no way I could prepare and feast on a pot roast in July just as I could not get away with all the wonderful light foods of summer during a Michigan winter. It’s just not right. This week’s #SundaySupper theme is all about One Pot Meals. What you can make in one dish or your crockpot. Sounds fabulous right about now, right? Right.

It is a rainy, chilly Michigan Fall day. There is football to watch and baseball playoffs too. Best time of year in my book and what could make this day even better? Throwing together a great big-ol’ pot of Jambalaya. I love the zesty heat that this one pot meal can bring. This recipe is a scratch recipe, not box Jambalaya mix. Perfect for an Unprocessed October. It is pretty versatile too. You can omit the shrimp and enjoy it with just sausage or add in chicken. Serve it with crusty bread and butter or some shredded cheese. However you enjoy your Jambalaya, it is sure to warm you up on a chilly damp day.

** My Jambalaya is not a traditional version. I instead enjoy the crushed tomatoes over diced and that makes it a bit saucy. Good but Saucy.**

Who doesn’t love the clean up of one pot meals? All I used was a cutting board and a dutch over. I love my cast iron dutch oven. As much as a covet those beautiful dishes from that fancy French company… you know the one… My pretty orange enameled cast iron pot does the trick and is easy to clean.

Check out all the other great One Pot Meals that are being served up this week. They are a flavorful and easy way to get your family back to the dinner table. Take a look at the list below. There are enough recipes to get you through this Fall and Winter!

You must be Japanese, Shannon! Attention to the seasons and reflecting that on the plate is exquisite….I can see how the weather turns chilly, curling up to read a great historical novel whilst the jambalaya simmers would be delightful. Thank you for the delicious looking recipe =)

Looks delish! Since you referenced whole30, may i suggest a modifier to make this whole30 approved? Sub cauliflowered ‘rice’ as grains are not whole30. also you would have to be discriminatory about the sausage, broth, seasoning, and bacon as all have the potential for additives and hidden sugar. Sorry…i cant help myself! Your meals look amazing and photos are beautiful!

I didn’t need to cook it for the full extra hour no. lol The carrots mostly disappear from cooking low and slow for so long, but add a nice little sweetness to the sauce. Should I rename it Northern Girls Interpretation of Jambalaya?
